From the Orange Peel Gazette...

Don't know who wrote this. I found it in the Orange Peel Gazette and it is SO funny and true.

It's REAL good to Be a Man...
Your last name stays put.
The garage is all yours.
Wedding plans take care of themselves.
Chocolate is just another snack.
You can be president.
You can wear a white t-shirt to a water park.
Car mechanics tell you the truth.
You don't care if someone notices your haircut.
The world is your stage and no one cares.
You never have to drive to another gas station because this one is just "TOO YUCKY".
Same work, more pay.
Wrinkles just add character.
Wedding Dress: $5,000; Tux Rental: $100.00
New shoes don't cut, blister or mangle your feet.
Your pals can be trusted never to trap you with: "So, notice anything different?"
One mood, all the time.
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.
You know stuff about tanks.
A five day vacation requires only one suitcase.
You can open all your own jars.
Dry cleaners and hair stylists don't rob you blind.
You can leave the motel bed unmade.
If someone forgets to invite you to something, they can still be your friend.
Your underwear is $8.95 for a three pack.
If you are 34 and single, nobody notices.
Everything on your face stays it's original color.
You can quietly enjoy a car ride from the passenger's seat.
Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.
You don't have to clean up before the maid gets there.
You can quietly watch the game with a buddy for hours without thinking: "He must be mad at me."
You don't mooch off other's desserts.
You are not expected to know the names of more than five colors.
You don't have to stop and think about which way to turn a nut on a bolt.
You don't have to shave below your neck.
You can "do" your nails with a pocketknife.

too funny!

Though I think I'm quieter in the passenger seat than my husband... until I was in the passenger seat with my boys!

Can you believe they're both out and driving now (16 on the 23rd)... I think I'm getting ulcers.

Oh my, two at once? That is enough for ulcers! Especially BOYZ! I remember some time back Deb M. told me that she couldn't keep Josh from being a pedal to the medal boy and that J encouraged it! AAAGGGGGHHHH. WHAT are these people thinking??? I DO NOT think it is funny!
Sloan will get her permit in February! But you know? She is going to be the most excellent driver! I won't worry too much about her driving but WILL about the other's on the road! PLUS, we are requiring 600 hours of logged time in before her real license. Period.

To tell you the truth, I would want to be a man for nothing in the world. They have a lot of responsibilities being that they are the head of the home. I like being a woman just fine. :o)

I don't think anyone is saying they would want to be a man or is jealous of their position, just that we can laugh at the differences!
